I know while working @ Compaq I was briefly working with someone who
wished to pick up em86 development to produce a version that
works with a modern glibc, etc.

We had a few problems with the runtime and I never heard back from him.
I know I did provide a newer x86 emulator image for the project.

I really do not undderstand this statement - could you please elaborate?
